PUBLIC HEARINGS
4. NORTH FARM ROAD SANITARY SEWER PROJECT
Kellogg stated tonight’s hearing is a public hearing for a project to install a pressure sewer system to
serve the North Farm Road neighborhood. The proposed assessment is $7,500.00 per unit for each of the
nine properties in the project. The assessment is for a 15-year time period at an interest rate of 6.25
percent. Seven of the nine property owners are in agreement with the project.
Several properties in the neighborhood have conforming septic systems. City policy allows property
owners with a conforming septic system to request exclusion from the project assessment, and the City
will then finance this portion of the construction cost until the property does connect to the sewer system.
The property owner may continue to use the conforming septic system until either the system fails or a
new or expanded house is constructed, at which time connection to the sewer system is required.
At the time a property that requested exclusion from the assessment wants to connect to the sewer system,
payment of the full current sewer connection fee is then required before a sewer connection permit is

issued. The sewer connection fee is based on the project assessment and is increased by a cost of living
adjustment every year.
At the present time the property owner at 1650 North Farm Road is considering exclusion from the
project assessment. Two assessment rolls have been prepared showing this property included and
excluded from the assessment.
Mayor White opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this item.
Mayor White closed the public hearing at 7:07 p.m.
White noted this is the third neighborhood in Orono this year that will be able to obtain city sewer since
Orono has adopted its new Comprehensive Plan.
Murphy indicated the annual interest rate at 6.25 percent seemed slightly high to him and that he had a
discussion today with the City Administrator concerning that.
Olson indicated he did research interest rates charged by other cities and that typically cities tend to set
their interest rates two percent over whatever the expected cost of bonds would be. Bonds for a 15-year
bond would be in the area of 3.75 percent, and that approximately two percent above that would be the
5.25 percent.
Loftus stated Staff would be comfortable recommending the interest rate be lowered to 5.25 percent.
Loftus noted it is a $7,500 assessment per unit over 15 years.
Bremer moved, Franchot seconded, to continue the North Farm Road Sanitary Sewer Project to
the assessment hearing. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
b. Assessment Hearing
White opened the assessment hearing at 7:12 pm.
There were no public comments regarding this item.
Chair White closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m.
Kellogg noted he did have some discussions with the one property owner that did not sign the petition and
that that property owner is not present tonight. Kellogg recommended the resolution including all nine
properties be adopted.
Bremer moved, Murphy seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5972, a Resolution Adopting the
North Farm Road Sanitary Sewer Improvements Assessment Roll, including all nine properties,
with the interest rate being lowered from 6.25 percent to 5.25 percent. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.

LMCD REPORT – ANDREW MCDERMOTT, REPRESENTATIVE
McDermott reported the LMCD has been dealing lately with issues relating to the Wayzata Bay Yacht
Club, which will likely continue to be reviewed over the winter.
The LMCD is also looking at reducing its costs and whether there should be a cost of living increase.
Murphy noted the Minnehaha steamboat has been pulled out of the water and the boat is now in storage.
Murphy reported they did not find any zebra mussels on the outside of the boat and that they will be
conducting an internal inspection of the boat to ensure that no zebra mussels have gotten into the engine.
McDermott noted that the DNR is asking boat owners to report any findings of zebra mussels to them.
PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS – DENISE LESKINEN, REPRESENTATIVE
Leskinen stated she had nothing to report but would be available for questions.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Tom Barrett, 941 North Arm Drive, noted he appeared before the City Council back in May to discuss
their joint dock license and that he has not received much information since then. It was his
understanding there were supposed to be a couple of workshops and a determination to find out who is
responsible to clean up the area.
Barrett indicated he did hear from City Engineer Kellogg that it was going to be discussed during Orono’s
budget season but that he was led to believe it would also be discussed at two workshops over the
summer. The two items they are interested in relate to the length of the time the surveys would be good
for concerning the joint docks and how the property would be inspected. Barrett indicated he was
wondering what has occurred since May 10th.
White noted the City did adopt a preliminary budget last month and one of the items remaining for
discussion is the multiple dock situation and the sediment in the pipe. White noted the City is
experiencing considerable pressure to keep the budget at current levels.
Barrett noted the minutes reflect that a decision was going to be made regarding whose responsibility it
was to clean up the sediment regardless of the budget.
White indicated the City Council has not received a report on this issue.

(PUBLIC COMMENTS, Continued)
Kellogg indicated his office has been in the process of updating the City’s surface water management
plan, which is going before the Minnehaha Watershed District this Thursday night for preliminary
approval. Then a memorandum of understanding will need to be executed before it can be finally
approved.
Kellogg indicated his office has put together a 10-year CIP, which is basically the CIP from the last
surface water management plan. None of those projects have been accomplished to date and there needs
to be a prioritization of those items. They have identified 10 larger projects that the City should consider
undertaking but he is not sure whether the delta cleaning is part of this 10-year CIP. Kellogg noted there
are budgetary constraints and that the storm water improvement projects have to be prioritized.
Kellogg indicated he wanted to get past the approval process on the surface water management plan
before moving forward. They have also prepared separately a 7-year CIP that includes all improvements
throughout the City and the delta project is identified in that plan. Due to the limited funding available,
projects scheduled for the next 10 years will need to be paid in part with grants and other financial
assistance.
Olson noted the fund balance before the Casco Point project was around $700,000, but that approximately
half of that was expended on Casco Point. The City currently receives around $125,000 a year in that
fund from user fees.
Kellogg stated they have not lost sight of the project and are working on priorities at the present time.
Barrett stated with every year this project is delayed, more sediment collects, which fills in a couple of
dock spaces. Barrett asked who will be accepting the responsibility to clean up the delta.
White asked Mr. Barrett if he is requesting the City accept that responsibility rather than the association.
Barrett noted the pipe is located on an adjoining property and is not on their property. At the May
Council meeting it was decided there would be a work session to determine whose responsibility it was.
White stated his recollection of the meeting was that Staff would look into the situation and gather
additional information on it.
Barrett noted he sent an e-mail to the mayor and the rest of the City Council on this matter and that he did
not receive a response back from the mayor. Barrett indicated he received a response from McMillan and
Murphy.
White indicated he did not receive that e-mail.
Barrett noted the minutes from that meeting reflect that Murphy moved, Bremer seconded, to approve the
application for a dock use licensed for the Forest Arms Country Club Homeowners Association for 2010
based on the current survey, with the requirement that a new survey be updated and obtained prior to the
submittal of the 2011 application, and with the additional requirement the City Engineer review the runoff
situation, determine what the City’s responsibility is as it relates to the delta, and to direct Staff to develop
a policy regarding how often the surveys should be updated. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, McMillan opposed.
Barrett commented that the motion is pretty clear.

(PUBLIC COMMENTS, Continued)
Bremer stated that is her recollection of the meeting and that she also had the understanding that
something else would happen with this situation. The survey question was discussed and the Council
decided that the homeowner’s association could use that survey for their application this year, but there
was also a question on whether the survey could be used next time, which is something that Staff will
need to look at. Bremer noted the City Council has not received that information yet.
Loftus indicated she will check with the City Engineer on the delta situation and that she will work with
Curtis on the policy issue.
Murphy stated they will be looking at this for next year and that they will need to verify everything.
Barrett indicated they would like to work with the City on this.
Clint Bucher, VFW, Post 7, stated they are requesting consideration of their request that somewhere in the
City Chambers hallway they would be allowed to post their colors and banner. He has spoken with City
Staff on this issue and they are in the process of collecting information from other cities on how they have
handled similar requests.
Bucher noted the VFW is a nonprofit organization and that Post 7 has been in existence for 108 years. It
provides public service to the community and works with the local high school on a scholarship award,
sponsors various fundraising activities for people who are stationed overseas and veterans’ families in the
area as well as other community projects. Post 7 does not have their own building and they would like
their colors displayed at the City Council Offices since this is where they meet.
White commented the VFW is always welcome and that Staff will look into this and get back to Mr.
Bucher.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT
5. #10-3467 STEVEN SCHUSSLER AND SUNHI RYAN, 1935 CONCORDIA STREET –
VARIANCES
Curtis stated the owners purchased the property in December 2009. An old garage was removed in or
about 1992, but a new garage was not constructed. They are requesting a hardcover variance in order to
construct a new, attached garage and a front porch.
Within the 75-250 foot zone, 710 square feet of hardcover would be added for the garage, 185 square feet
for the porch, and only 11 square feet to make the driveway. The existing gravel and cement parking area
of 699 square feet would be removed. The applicant is requesting a variance for a hardcover increase of
421 square feet.
The Planning Commission voted 2 to 3 on a motion to recommend approval of the hardcover variance in
order to allow construction of the proposed garage. The motion also included a recommendation to the
City Council to explore a code amendment allowing construction of a garage on properties with principal
structures that do not have a garage. This motion failed.

Staff finds that the applicant has a reasonable use of the property and the hardcover proposed is not
supported by a hardship. Further, the applicant has not demonstrated that enforcing the hardcover
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of their property. Staff
recommends denial of the variance.
Bremer asked if it had not been for the recent Supreme Court ruling, whether Staff would have
recommended approval of this application.
Curtis indicated Staff would have recommended some level of hardcover variance.
Bremer stated the recent Supreme Court ruling has changed how cities can deal with variances. Bremer
noted the case before the Supreme Court involved a person who already had a garage and were requesting
permission to add a second story on to the garage. This property owner does not currently have a garage.
Steven Schussler indicated the previous garage was torn down by a previous owner due to its deteriorated
condition. The previous property owner had received approval to construct the garage but it was never
constructed due to financial reasons.
Bremer asked whether it was a detached garage that was originally approved.
Schussler indicated it was. Schussler indicated the house is homesteaded. Sunhi Ryan is a co-owner of
the property and is currently a real estate agent. Sunhi was attacked a couple of months ago in downtown
Minneapolis. The Supreme Court ruling talked about hardship cases. Schussler stated in his opinion this
is a hardship case given the additional security an attached garage will provide. They are willing to drop
their other plans for improving the property until the Supreme Court ruling is changed.
Schussler stated having a home in Minnesota without a garage that was approved years prior would also
be a hardship. They would like to live in the great City of Orono but that it is literally impossible to be
able to use your property without a garage. The garage would also provide storage space. They are
requesting a two-car garage and are willing to forego a patio and a porch in order to obtain the safety that
they are seeking.
The Planning Commission voted 2-3 on this application but that in his view there is a fear that the Supreme
Court ruling would come down upon the City Council if their application was approved.
Schussler indicated he has lived in Minnesota for over 27 years and has seen Planning Commissions
overruled many, many times. Schussler requested the City Council look at their individual situation.
Schussler stated the book, The Speed of Trust, contains a statement by Henry Ford which states the
following: “If there is any great secret of success in life, it lives in the ability to put yourself in the other
person’s place and to see things from his point of view as well as your own.” Schussler stated he would
ask the City Council to put themselves in their position. All they are requesting is a safe place to park
their vehicles and access their house. If they r educe the size of the garage, it would result in a one-car
garage and they would also need to downsize the size of their car. Schussler stated in his view the
reasonableness of the request should also play a part in the Council’s decision.

White commented the recent Supreme Court ruling does play an important role in the granting of
variances and that the City Council is not allowed to pass a variance that is contrary to state law. The
City Council does have a little more leeway than the Planning Commission. White noted the variance is
granted to the land and not the individual.
City Attorney Poehler indicated the variance is granted to a specific property and not an individual.
Bremer stated the question becomes whether every resident in Orono should be allowed to have a garage
and that unfortunately the City Counc il does not know the configuration of every lot. Bremer indicated
she previously owned a home that had a detached, single garage. Bremer indicated that while it was not a
safety concern for her to have an attached garage, she had a small child and it was difficult going back
and forth to the garage with him. Bremer indicated she realized the chances of getting a larger attached
garage were slim and that she learned to live with the house she purchased.
Bremer stated it appears this conversation is headed in the direction that major modifications will need to
be made to the house if the applicant desires a garage. Bremer noted the Planning Commission looked at
this very thoroughly and that the question becomes what other options the applicant has, which was also
examined by the Planning Commission. Bremer asked what the City had previously approved for a
replacement garage.
Curtis indicated Staff did a quick analysis of what could be done on the site. Curtis stated she did speak
with the applicant’s contractor and a new home could be constructed on the lot that would be smaller than
what currently exists but they would then be able to rebuild and include a garage. The applicants could
also remodel and do a tuck-under garage. A detached garage would be limited in size due to the setbacks.
Schussler stated after reviewing the Supreme Court decision, in his view hardship is an incredible thing.
The dictionary definition does not justify some of the terms that are being used today. The Planning
Commission’s vote was 2-3, which implies that some on the Planning Commission feel there is a hardship
even with the Supreme Court ruling. Schussler indicated they are not looking to construct an office or a
workout studio and that they are willing to work within the rules and regulations. The rules call for an
extension of what is presently allowed and that the hardship rules apply here. The Supreme Court allows
for hardships and that he would encourage the City Council to think why the Planning Commission vote
was 2-3.
Murphy stated one of the things that the Supreme Court ruling did was to bring to a halt the granting of
variances for structures that probably should not be built, particularly around lakeshores. Murphy
commented he cannot imagine a house in Orono without a garage and that perhaps the City Council
should review what the penalty would be to the City if a variance is granted in this case.
Poehler indicated the Minnesota Legislature is going to have to look at the Supreme Court ruling and
determine whether they want to make any changes to the language. The risk to approving a variance is
that somebody will challenge the City Council’s granting of that variance and the City’s decision could be
overruled by the courts.
Schussler stated in the case before the Supreme Court the property owners did not need the structure and
they did not prove a hardship. Schussler indicated they will need to move if they cannot build a garage,

which is also an extreme hardship. The property was purchased with the understanding that the garage
had been approved years earlier but was not constructed due to a lack of funds by the previous owner.
They have made some other improvements to the house and would like a simple garage.
Murphy stated another thing with the language that is troublesome is the phrase reasonable use, and that
he would like the City Attorney to address that. Murphy asked whether this application should be tabled
to allow the City Council to better understand what the implications would be if they granted the variance.
Bremer stated unless the City has some kind of public policy that states every property owner in the City
of Orono should be permitted a garage, the City’s current zoning codes do not allow this variance to be
approved unless the City Council is so confident that they can say the property owners cannot utilize the
property without a garage. Bremer noted people have been living in this house without a garage
previously, which implies that there is reasonable use of the property. Bremer stated city law would need
to be changed in order to allow them to grant the variance. The City does have the ability to enact their
own zoning codes, but without a specific law stating that every property owner should have a garage, the
City Council has to look at the hardship standard before granting a variance.
Schussler asked what the hardship standard is.
Bremer indicated the property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the variance.
Schussler asked if reasonable use means not having a garage.
Bremer stated it comes down to an interpretation of the law. The City Council has reviewed a number of
variance applications since the Supreme Court ruling and that this application is probably one of the best
examples of how frustrating the ruling is. Cities previously granted variances based on whether the
request was reasonable. Bremer stated she is hopeful the state legislature will amend the language and
allow the cities more flexibility.
White noted the City Council is constrained on this matter and that every city is in the same situation.
White stated it unfortunately takes a while for the legislative wheels to turn but that it would be dangerous
for the City to pass a law that allows all residences to have a garage. White commented he is not sure
there is a way to pass a city law that is in opposition to a state law.
White asked if the applicants would like their application tabled.
Schussler indicated that would be fine.
Bremer moved, Murphy seconded, to table Application #10-3467, Steven Schussler and Sunhi
Ryan, 1935 Concordia Street. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
Curtis noted the applicant will have to sign an extension of the time period.
Schussler indicated he would be agreeable to that.

OF WOODHILL SENIOR COTTAGES OF NAVARRE, 2525 SHADYWOOD ROAD –
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/SITE PLAN WITH PLAT AND EASEMENT VACATION
Curtis stated the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit and site plan approval for a 24-resident
memory care facility. The applicant also requests approval of a plat to consolidate the three existing lots
that comprise the site into one lot and the vacation of the drainage and utility easements associated with
the old plat.
At the August 9th meeting, the Council reviewed the revised request and heard comments from the
neighbors. The applicant was directed to revise the civil plans in accordance with the Planning
Commission and City Engineer’s direction. Additionally, the applicant was encouraged to work with
adjacent property owners in revising the landscape plan to achieve a level of screening satisfactory to all
parties. The applicant met with the neighbors on September 2nd and a revised landscape plan has been
drafted.
The Planning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend approval of the conditional use permit and site plan
for the first building of a possible two building assisted living facility subject to the following conditions:
1. Any additional lighting on the site to be dark sky compliant and not create glare, with the zero
light level at the property line being maintained;
2. The owner providing an escrow and signing an escrow agreement to ensure that erosion and
sediment control measures are properly maintained;
3 The owner providing the financial securities required by code to ensure that all non-building
improvements are properly installed, including sewer and water lines and service.
The Planning Commission also recommended approval of the preliminary plat and vacation of the
easements in the existing plat, with the condition that all required drainage and utility and drainage
easements will be provided for on the new plat.
The City Engineer is continuing to work with the applicant’s engineer to resolve some storm water issues.
Upon resolution of the engineering issues, Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit, site
plan, and plat.
Terry Schneider stated the main changes to their plan were to eliminate phase two from the plans and to
reduce the footprint of the rooms to avoid the need for a variance. They have had a number of back and
forth discussions regarding the ponding. A biofiltration basin will be utilized on the property. Bonestroo
has verbally agreed that a biofiltration basin is acceptable and that they are willing to comply with the
recommendations of the City Engineer.
Schneider noted another key issue with the application has been the landscaping. They have met with the
neighbors on this issue and discussed a number of different options. The basic changes to the landscape
plan are to include a solid row of arborvitae along the southern edge of the property and to also add some
supplemental trees in that area to offset that dense hedging. Schneider indicated he did speak with the
neighbors and they are comfortable with the landscaping changes.

Schneider illustrated the existing layout of the property and pointed out the wetland and the area of dense
woods on the property. They have focused on how they can provide some landscaping along Kelly to
help screen the residential properties. Basically they are proposing three levels of buffering from the
south. They are willing to maintain as many of the existing trees as possible unless they are an invasive
species or less than desirable trees. Next to the wetland setback area they are proposing to put a row of
dense plantings. The third level of buffering will be against the building and will include some large
trees. Schneider commented you will be able to see some portions of the building but that there will be
considerable buffering on the property.
White asked about the lighting on the building.
Schneider indicated the lighting would be down lighting and that they are agreeable to turning the lights
off at 9:00 or 10:00 at night. There will probably be a security light located on the backside of the garage
that will be left on during the night.
Murphy asked for a quick overview of the project.
Schneider stated this project is basically a duplex and will feel like a community. The building will offer
congregate dining and consist of 10 units on each side. They do have the ability to have two to a unit for
a maximum total of 24 but they anticipate the majority of the units will have one occupant. The number
of staff during the daytime will consist of approximately six employees and three at night.
White asked whether this building will actually be constructed once it is approved.
Schneider indicated there is no public funding of the infrastructure and the financing is subject to
approval by the City Council. A private management company out of Buffalo will manage the facility.
Schneider indicated the economics work well with the 20-unit modules and they are self-supporting.
Additional units will only add to the economics of the structure.
Murphy stated he would like the applicant to address the idea of a second building and what the applicant
is agreeable to doing. Murphy asked what the risk to the community is once this first building is
constructed for a second building.
Schneider stated the property behind this site is zoned 1C and is basically residential. If the site was not
replatted, they would in essence have a buildable lot zoned for a duplex and they could in a few months
come back in and construct another building. The owners do not feel that is the right choice and would
like to combine the two lots, which will require them to come back before the City Council for approval
of the second building on the back portion of the site. Schneider indicated this would allow the City
Council more discretion on the construction of the second structure.
Mayor White opened the public hearing at 8:13 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this application.
Mayor White closed the public hearing at 8:13 p.m.

White commented it is difficult for the residents whenever there is a change in the neighborhood but that
those concerns have to be balanced with the rights of the property owner. White stated in his opinion this
proposal is a big improvement over the previous plan.
Curtis stated she would like to see the engineering issues resolved prior to the resolution being brought
before the City Council.
Murphy moved, Franchot seconded, to direct staff to draft a resolution approving the conditional
use permit, site plan, and plat, subject to the engineering issues being resolved prior to the

7. #10-3483 CITY OF ORONO-ZONING AMENDMENT – COLUMBARIUMS
Bremer noted she is a member of Good Shepherd Church and that she will not be voting on this
application since this ordinance indirectly affects the plans being considered by Good Shepherd. Bremer
noted the City Council has received an e-mail from Good Shepherd on how this ordinance will impact
their application. The proposed ordinance requires a 10-foot setback from all residential property
required for a columbarium and that the property adjoining Good Shepherd is a city park. Given the
configuration of the Good Shepherd site, they believe the best location for their inurnment garden is
closer than 10 feet from the adjoining city property line. The Planning Commission understood that issue
and proposed a 5-foot setback from city-owned property, but the City Attorney drafted language requiring
a 10-foot setback since, in his opinion, it would be difficult to differentiate between city residential
property and private residential property. Bremer noted the Good Shepherd application will require a
variance based on the language contained in the proposed ordinance.
Murphy stated he attended the first Planning Commission meeting on this application and that his
understanding was that the City was going to require a conditional use permit to address the setback. The
ordinance is now going with a 10-foot setback.
Curtis stated that was based on the advice of the City Attorney.
Murphy stated he personally would prefer being able to analyze the applications on a site-by-site basis.
Curtis noted the City Council does have the option to amend the language and perhaps include language
exempting the 10-foot setback from a city park or other similar language, which would be a way to
address that concern.
David Owen, 3486 Ivy Place, Good Shepherd, invited the City Council to visit the site. The 5-foot
setback they are looking at is a result of the narrowness of the site. Their design has been in place for a
couple of years. Good Shepherd is looking for a 5-foot setback based on the fact that this site is a very
wooded site and this area near the property line is flatter and they would like to take advantage of that.
They would like to locate the inurnment garden five feet from the city property line to avoid having to
deal with some steep slopes.
Owen displayed some pictures of the site. Owen pointed out the inurnment garden would be located
approximately 90 feet from the nearest property line and 150 feet from the nearest residence. The photos

also show the topography of the site and the impact on the trees the project would have if it would have to
be relocated. The inurnment garden is located at least five feet from any property zoned residential and
would not be visible from the adjoining residence.
Owen commented in his view some other verbiage would work and that perhaps the word zoned could be
eliminated from the section regarding setbacks to read that this columbarium is located at least five feet
from any adjacent property with a nonresidential use or that the columbarium is located at least five feet
from any adjacent properties zoned residential having a nonresidential use or zoned nonresidential.
Owen stated he does understand that variances are difficult to approve and that they would appreciate the
City Council support.
White noted they will need to table this application until Council Member McMillan is present given the
fact that the ordinance change requires a super majority and Council Member Bremer will be abstaining.
Greg Keller, 528 Aspen Circle, Delano, Good Shepherd, indicated he has attended all of the Planning
Commission and City Council meetings regarding this issue. Keller pointed out the Planning
Commission attempted to make a distinction between above-ground structures and ground level memorial
gardens, which in his opinion is a bonafide distinction that should be made. Ground level memorial
gardens will have very little impact on adjoining properties. The ordinance lumps above-ground
columbaria and ground level gardens together. The word columbaria is derived from a Latin term for an
above-ground structure with small compartments for housing doves, which is different than an in-grou nd
structure.
Keller stated the Supreme Court decision limits the City Council’s ability to grant variances and that he
would recommend the City Council build in some flexibility on the front end. As an example, good
drafting technique would dictate that the language not say “the setback shall be,” but rather not less than
five feet or not less than ten feet. When this ordinance is reconsidered, Keller stated he would also
suggest that all the setbacks for ground level memorial gardens be not less than five feet whether they are
adjacent to a residential or commercial property regardless of the zoning.
Keller pointed out that Good Shepherd is not guaranteed they will be given a 5-foot setback and that the
City Council could require a different setback. Keller commented there is nothing bad about a 5-foot
setback and that the City’s current zoning allows for signs to be set back five feet from property lines,
entrance monuments to be set back five feet from property lines; and that boats and unoccupied trailers,
terraces, steps, uncovered porches, stoops or similar structures are allowed to be set back two feet from
any property line.
Keller encouraged the City Council to look at the broader picture and visit some of the other sites in the
area. St. Martin’s and Bethel Methodist memorial gardens have busy county roads. Good Shepherd
could duplicate that atmosphere if they were trying to squeeze the garden in at the front of the building,
which in their opinion would be a horrible location. Good Shepherd has a quiet, secluded area next to
city land that will probably remain a city park longer than the Good Shepherd property will be a church.
Keller noted the City’s comprehensive plan proposes that the adjoining land remain a city park. The
proposed ordinance also does not address setbacks from roadways.

Keller pointed out in the Staff memo it states the City Attorney suggested that the term “use of the
property” is less clear than the term “zoning of the property,” which in his opinion the opposite is true.
Orono’s Code has several zoning districts which are broken down into different districts. The residential
zoning district has 13 different residential districts and each one of those has permitted uses. In this
particular zone, you have family detached dwellings, publicly owned parks and playgrounds, and
municipal buildings. The Code starts out with a very broad term of zoning and then goes to residential,
and within those 13 areas, you have permitted uses. Keller stated if permitted use is a legally accepted
term within the City’s existing zoning code, he is not sure why that would not be acceptable in this
ordinance. Keller suggested language requiring a setback not less than five feet be considered regardless
of the adjacent zoning.
White commented the City Council feels that columbarium would be a good use for the City.
Murphy recommended the Council consider some less specific language as it relates to the setbacks.

11. CRYSTAL BAY ROAD CUL-DE-SAC PETITION
Kellogg stated on July 2010, the City of Orono hosted a neighborhood meeting to address the traffic
concerns received from residents along Crystal Bay Road.
Residents have now submitted a petition for installation of a cul-de-sac or barrier at one end of the
roadway or the other. The petition lists a number of reasons for their request.
Bonestroo was asked to provide a cost estimate to study the request. The feasibility study would be
prepared on an hourly basis with a cost not to exceed $6,000. In an open, level field it would cost
approximately $60,000 to construct a cul-de-sac to meet city design standards. This cost assumes no land
acquisition, storm water improvements, grading, tree removal, etc. The difficult parts of estimating a total
project cost are the land acquisition associated with the construction as well as the storm water treatment
costs for the installation of the additional hardcover.
It does not appear there is enough existing right-of-way on either end of the roadway to construct a cul-
de-sac and/or barrier. Therefore, land acquisition will be required. Given property values in this area,
the construction costs to construct a cul-de-sac are likely to account for only a small part of the total
project cost. Approximately 20 percent of residents did not sign the petition. There are also three
additional properties that have Shadywood Road addresses but their driveways are off of Crystal Bay
Road.
The City Council should consider the reaction from Minnetonka Beach residents; emergency vehicle
access; bus, delivery and garbage truck access; and funding constraints of the 2010 and 2011 budgets.
A feasibility study to further refine the costs and project feasibility could be prepared. The study would
be prepared on an hourly basis with a cost not to exceed $6,000. The study would be limited to the cul-
de-sac or barrier feasibility and would not include other possible solutions to the claimed traffic speed and
volume issues.
White asked if the residents are asking the City to close off one end of the road.
Kellogg stated the petition asks for installation of a cul-de-sac or a barrier on Crystal Bay Road.
Murphy asked if the residents are proposing a cul-de-sac at the border between Minnetonka Beach and
Orono.
Kellogg stated the cul-de-sac could be located at either end of the roadway and that those options would
need to be looked at in the feasibility study. Depending on the location of the cul-de-sac or barrier, the
property owners may need to gain access through Minnetonka Beach. Kellogg noted there are three
properties that have driveways accessing Crystal Bay Road but do not have a Crystal Bay Road address.
Those properties are not repr esented in the petition, so the City would need to make sure that they are
included in the discussion.
Murphy stated the main issue is the situation the City would be putting itself in by closing off a city street
that is a through street to another city.
White asked if it is likely the City would be able to come up with the money to construct a cul-de-sac at
either end.

(11. CRYSTAL BAY ROAD CUL-DE-SAC PETITION, Continued)
Kellogg stated the construction costs are going to be the minor portion of the total costs as compared to
the land acquisition costs.
White stated there are some property owners in this area who claim they have dock rights on Crystal Bay
and would also want some input into this if the road is closed. White commented he is not sure whether
they have those docks rights but their deeds are ambiguous. On the other end of Crystal Bay Road is the
City of Minnetonka Beach and emergency service vehicles sometimes need to go through there. White
stated the City will have to see if they will even be allowed to do this and that it does not make sense from
a public safety standpoint and a cost standpoint to close one end of the road.
White questioned what the residents would be willing to spend on this. White stated one option could be
speed bumps.
Gabriel Jabbour, Orono, commented the City Council is currently being attacked by people who feel the
City is wasting money. The residents are asking the City to do something that should never be considered
based on the costs and that the City has a file a foot high on projects that should be done. Jabbour
commented the residents are not recognizing the impact on their safety if one end of the road is closed
and that it would also make it impossible for cars to turn around. Jabbour stated the City will need to talk
to the Mound Fire Department, the Long Lake Fire Department, and the Orono Police Department.
Jabbour stated the most important issue regarding this petition relates to planning and zoning and that he
would ask the City Council to divert from that zoning. The City’s current code states that two or more
homes must be served with a city standard street plus a 75-foot cul-de-sac, which is in conflict with
another part of the code that requires three or more homes to be constructed on a cul-de-sac. Jabbour
stated the problem is that no one ever considered the zoning code before making this request. Jabbour
questioned whether the City will be able to grant a variance. Jabbour commented that the residents
deserve to know what they are going to get up front and that it could become a public safety issue if
emergency vehicles are not able to access Minnetonka Beach at times when County Road 15 is congested.
Jabbour asked how the City Attorney feels about constructing a cul-de-sac on a substandard road and
closing one end and whether a variance would be necessary.
Poehler indicated a variance would be necessary but that she is not able to state what the hardship would
be at this time.
John Hofer, 3339 Crystal Bay Road, commented that former mayor Gabriel Jabbour brings up some good
points. The City of Orono has a number of roads that do not currently have a 75-foot cul-de-sac, such as
Baldur Park Road, Birch Lane, Pheasant Road, Mapleridge Lane, and West Lafayette Road. In
Minnetonka Beach, they have Brooks Lane and Arcola Lane. Long Lake has Apple Glen Road. In that
situation they constructed a turnaround area, which is another option here.
Ann O’Reilly, 3349 Crystal Bay Road, stated the number one job of the City Council is to look out for the
public safety and welfare of the residents. The residents are passionate about this and have put a
considerable amount of time into researching this. The residents held a neighborhood meeting and
discussed a number of options. Eighty percent or more of the residents on the street are in favor of this
petition. O’Reilly noted the three properties whose driveways access Crystal Bay Road were not included
on the petition since the petition requires that the properties have a Crystal Bay Road address.

(11. CRYSTAL BAY ROAD CUL-DE-SAC PETITION, Continued)
O’Reilly stated the residents have chosen specifically the option of doing a break-away barrier or an
enclosure at either end. It appears the first step the City Council is looking at is doing a feasibility study,
which would look at all the options. The residents are asking the City Council to consider this petition in
order to address the safety concerns of the residents that have developed given the amount of traffic on
the road, the speeds the vehicles travel, and the number of children in the neighborhood. The residents
would like the City Council to approve the feasibility study to allow the City Engineer’s office to evaluate
every aspect of the project. O’Reilly pointed out there is no assurance that land acquisition will be
necessary.
Bill Wolfe, 3255 Crystal Bay Road, noted not all the residents have signed the petition and that this
matter has been discussed with other previous councils on at least two occasions and denied.
Approximately five or six years ago in Minnetonka Beach they went through a big effort to close the road
on their end. Wolfe indicated he attended that meeting as well and Orono’s Council sent a representative
to the meeting.
White noted the Orono Police Department thought it was a bad idea given the public safety issues it
would create.
Wolfe indicated he concurred with the police chief at the meeting and it was later decided not to close the
road. Wolfe stated in his opinion this would be bad money spent.
LeRoy Erger, 3265 Crystal Bay Road, indicated he has lived on this road for 40 years and has raised four
children with none of them being hit. They have tried three or four times to close off one end of this road.
Erger commented he is not sure how the City can spend $6000 on something that should be obvious will
not be approved. The residents were aware of the road when they moved into the neighborhood. Four
properties are for sale currently, including one not publicly listed for sale. Erger commented that dogs in
the neighborhood are also a problem.
Erger recommended the City consider speed bumps for this roadway and that the best speed bumps are
out at Canterbury. Erger suggested the residents pay for a speed bump and that he also has a concern that
emergency vehicles will not be able to promptly respond to calls if one end of the road is closed.
Terry Hofer, 3339 Crystal Bay Road, stated the demographics have changed drastically in the
neighborhood and that there are now approximately 10 children under the age of five. The road was
never designed to carry 2000 cars per week and you would not design a house nowadays where that house
was located 15 feet away from the street with no sidewalks. Hofer stated the more cars that travel the
road, the greater the chances that cars will be traveling at a higher rate of speed.
Hofer stated one more reason for the break-away barrier is that ambulances currently don’t want to go
down that curve and normally come from Shadywood or County Road 19. When the residents are
speaking about safety, it is not so they can live in a gated community but so they can protect the children.
This is a dangerous situation and Crystal Bay Road is not your typical neighborhood where you have a
nice yard. Some of the driveways are very small and unable to fit a large vehicle. Hofer stated traffic has
increased substantially during the time she has lived in the area.
Brad Bakke, 3235 Crystal Bay Road, stated he also has a concern regarding the safety of the children.
When the road was originally constructed, it was intended for a different use. The use of the road has

changed over the years. The roadway would be fine if the motorists are driving the speed limit of 15
miles an hour. A lot of people drive at a much higher rate of speed, especially down the hill. If cost is a
concern, if safety for the community is a concern, an inexpensive solution would be to have a break-away
barrier. An ambulance or police car could drive through them. The break-away would accomplish the
objectives of the residents and the City.
Bakke noted break-aways have been done in a number of other locations where cul-de-sacs have been
constructed. The residents are not saying the City has to construct a cul-de-sac, but there are a number of
ways to accomplish this and a compromise could be reached. Speed bumps or a one-way road would cut
the problem in half. The feasibility study would allow the City to look at all the options.
Teri Abers, 3349 Crystal Bay Road, indicated she moved in approximately one year ago and was not
aware of the amount of traffic on that road. Abers stated if she is standing at the end of her driveway
taking her garbage down to the road and a truck with a trailer swerves into the driveway, she would be hit.
Abers stated in her view it is very important that the Council follow the City Staff’s recommendation and
do the feasibility study to look at ways to make the neighborhood safe.
Mayor White closed the public hearing at 9:11 p.m.
White stated he is not in favor of closing the street and that in his opinion Staff should obtain the
comments from the public safety people and Minnetonka Beach. The study has to eliminate the idea of a
cul-de-sac given the costs associated with constructing it and the necessary land acquisition. White stated
in his opinion the City should not approve spending $6,000 to look at something that we already know we
cannot afford.
White noted the City has had to lay off two additional police officers currently and another city staff
person last month due to a shortfall in the budget. White indicated he is in agreement that there are some
public safety concerns here but that the City and residents need to look at other options. It is possible to
make the road safer but the City cannot construct a cul-de-sac unless someone would like to purchase
some property and donate it to the city.
Murphy stated he has been driving that road for a number of years and that the residents have a number of
valid concerns. The road is narrow and there are a number of children and animals. The idea of closing a
city road that provides access to another city is not feasible. Murphy asked what is different about this
particular road from every other road that is in the city.
O’Reilly stated this was originally a horse and buggy road and existed as a path. It does not even have
dimensions on the plat as to where the boundaries are.
Bakke indicated there is no right-of-way and there is just an easement.
O’Reilly stated it existed for a whole different reason and should be servicing just the properties that
basically are in that area. Most of the people in Minnetonka Beach do not care for the traffic either.
O’Reilly stated in her view this is a unique situation given the nearness of the lake, which attracts
additional traffic, and people who do not want to travel on 19 or 15.

Murphy stated the City does care about safety on Crystal Bay Road but that he cannot support closing the
road. Murphy recommended staff speak with the police chief.
Franchot stated he is troubled with not obtaining a feasibility study because the City Council would be
making a number of decisions without obtaining all the facts. One of the reasons this road is different is
the location of the Lafayette Club, which is something that needs to be taken into consideration.
Franchot indicated he has driven down the road a number of times and that it is unsafe. Franchot stated in
his opinion the City needs to spend some serious time looking at that road as the City should do with any
road that is unsafe. Franchot recommended the Council approve no more than $6,000 for the feasibility
study and to keep the study as straight forward as possible. Franchot stated in his view the residents on
the street and the surrounding neighborhood should be heard and that the disadvantages and advantages
should be listed for each option.
Bremer indicated she does not feel the votes are here to approve a cul-de-sac or a break-away barrier, but
that there are other solutions that could be looked at. The study is not really an engineering study and that
the City needs to get the input from Minnetonka Beach and the police department. The City needs to
address the concerns of the current residents even though this has been discussed previously. It is a
difficult road to traverse and there are some concerns with small children. The City is not really able to
make the road wider and that she would be supportive of directing Staff to gather additional information.
White concurred that Staff should gather additional information.
Murphy stated he would be happy to lead up the efforts with staff and the residents. Murphy indicated he
would also be happy to speak with the mayor of Minnetonka Beach and that they can call it a task force
rather than a study.
Kellogg stated a break-away barrier could be constructed very inexpensively but that cars would still need
to be able to turn around. Kellogg pointed out that Staff did not recommend the study be completed.
This is not really an engineering issue but is more of a public safety issue. Kellogg indicated he is in
agreement with Council Member Murphy’s suggestion.
It was the consensus of the City Council to form a task force to study this issue, with Jim Murphy heading
the task force.

Title: Planning & Zoning Coordinator
Item Description:
10-3483 Zoning Text Amendment to Residential Zoning Districts — Columbarium - Ordinance
List of Exhibits:
Exhibit A. Draft Ordinance Option 1
Exhibit B. Draft Ordinance Option 2
Exhibit C. Council Memo & Exhibits of 10/06/10
Exhibit D. Draft Council Minutes of 10/11/10
Application Summary:
At the October 11th meeting the Council reviewed the proposed ordinance allowing columbaria within
Orono. Additional testimony was heard from members of the public, specifically Good Shepherd
Church.
According to City Code section 78-43(a) a two thirds vote is required to amend the zoning code.
Councilmember Bremer stated as she was a member of Good Shepherd Church she would abstain
from the vote; and Councilmember McMillian was absent. Therefore the Council voted 3-0 to table
while directing staff to revise the ordinance language to better accommodate existing places of
worship within Orono.
Based on this direction, Staff is presenting Council with two options which address the setback of a
columbarium. Option 9 suggests a five-foot setback from all property lines, and does not have a
distinction based on the adjacent property's zoning classification. Option 2 proposes a 10 -foot
setback from residentially zoned property; a 5 -foot setback from non -residentially zoned property; and
a 5 -foot setback from City -owned parks, The other components — minimum 50 -foot setback from
adjacent principal structures and year-round screening — remain the same with both options.
Planning Staff Recommendation
The Council should indicate which option best addresses their previous concerns and approve or
amend the one of the draft ordinances.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt or amend one of the attached ordinances.

CITY OF ORONO – OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD RECONSTRUCTION
1.0 Introduction
City Council and staff has requested this report to determine the feasibility of reconstructing Old Crystal
Bay Road and the municipal utilities between Old Highway 12 (CSAH 112) and Sixth Avenue North (CSAH
6). The proposed project area is shown in Figure 1.
In 2006, Orono’s Pavement Management Plan identified this segment of Old Crystal Bay Road as being in
poor condition and showing signs of deterioration. In addition to the physical road condition, safety and
traffic congestion are concerns regarding the existing road. Located adjacent to this road are the Orono
School District schools, the Orono Ice Arena, a child care center, ball fields, a medical office building, and
Orono City Hall. Due to these factors, this segment was identified as a high priority and was included in
Orono’s 16-Year Transportation Capital Improvement Plan as a street to be reconstructed.
This report describes the improvements required to both the streets and utilities to adequately serve the
area. The proposed utility improvements are presented in Figures 2, 3, and 4, and two options for the
proposed street improvements are presented in Figures 5 (turn lanes) and 6 (roundabouts). Also
included in the report are several optional improvements that would increase the safety, functionality,
and/or aesthetics of the area. A cost analysis and allocation are also discussed and presented in the Cost
Analysis and Funding Options sections. The costs of the proposed improvements are presented in the
Appendix.

1)That this report be adopted as the guide for reconstruction of the street and utilities on Old
Crystal Bay Road between CSAH 112 and CSAH 6.
2)That the City selects a street design that most fully meets their needs.
3) That the City conducts a legal and fiscal review of the proposed project prior to awarding the
project.

3.0 Sanitary Sewer Improvements
The existing gravity sanitary sewer was installed in approximately 1962 and runs along the east side of
Old Crystal Bay Road from Old Highway 12 to approximately 1300’ north of Old Highway 12. The sewer
is 8 inches in diameter and constructed of vitrified clay pipe. Three forcemains connect to the existing
gravity sewer at the north end of the system. All flows are routed to the south and connect to the
sanitary sewer at Old Highway 12.
In August, 2010, the City televised the existing sanitary sewer in Old Crystal Bay Road. The televising
video and associated report revealed several concerns with the existing sewer, including mineral deposits
and infiltration.
The proposed sanitary sewer improvements are shown in Figure 2. The proposed improvements include
completely replacing the existing gravity sewer north of Old Highway 12. We are recommending sewer
replacement based on the age, typical life expectancy, and existing condition of the system. All sanitary
sewer services will also be replaced between the main and the right-of-way line.
There are two small diameter pressure sewers on the west side of Old Crystal Bay Road on the northern
end of the project. A two-inch HDPE pressure sewer serves the Jamestown Road neighborhood and was
installed in 2005. It runs along Old Crystal Bay Road from CSAH 6 to the existing gravity sewer manhole
approximately 1600 feet south of CSAH 6. In addition, a two-inch HDPE forcemain carries flows from a
lift station at the Orono Ice Arena to this same manhole. It was installed in 1997. There have been no
known issues with either of these systems. Therefore, given the relative age and condition, it is not
recommended to replace these pressure sewer pipes as part of this project.
Cost estimates for the proposed sanitary sewer improvements are presented in the Appendix.
3.1 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS
Described below are two additional sanitary sewer improvement options that may be included as part of
this project. The proposed improvements are shown in Figure 2. The City should determine which of
the options, if any, it would like to be included in the project. A cost summary of each of these items is
included in Section 7.0 (Cost Analysis). Cost estimates for each of these additional improvement options
are provided in the Appendix.
A. MEDINA FORCEMAIN REPLACEMENT
In 1981, a four-inch forcemain was constructed to serve the Morningside Addition in Medina, just north of
CSAH 6. The pipe material is not known, although it is likely ductile iron pipe. The forcemain runs west
along CSAH 6 to Old Crystal Bay Road. It then runs along the east side of Old Crystal Bay Road to a
gravity manhole approximately 1600 feet south of CSAH 6. Given the age of this forcemain and its
location under the proposed road, we recommend the segment located along Old Crystal Bay Road be
replaced as part of this project.

Old Crystal Bay Road Reconstruction Feasability Study [Page 9 of 42]
City of Orono Project No: 000139-10047-0
Old Crystal Bay Road Reconstruction Page 7
B. OLD HIGHWAY 12 SEWER REPLACEMENT
This existing gravity sewer segment was installed in approximately 1962 and runs along the south side of
Old Highway 12 from Old Crystal Bay Road to the Orono/Long Lake municipal boundary, approximately
1500’ east of Old Crystal Bay Road. The sewer is 8 inches in diameter and constructed of truss pipe.
The sewer is currently undersized for the planned future service area. In addition, the pipe is in poor
condition. The televising report completed in August 2010 identified several locations where the pipe is
cracked, as well as several areas where the inner layer of the pipe has separated from the outer layer.
Therefore, we recommend that this segment of sanitary sewer be replaced as part of this project. Given
the close proximity of the sanitary sewer to the existing roadway, as well as to the existing Metropolitan
Council forcemain and other private utilities, we recommend utilizing pipe bursting, a trenchless
technology, to replace the sanitary sewer. All sanitary sewer services will also be replaced between the
main and the right-of-way line.
Constructing the additional sanitary sewer improvements A and B as part of the larger street and utility
project will likely be more efficient and cost-effective than completing them as stand-alone projects. It
should also be noted that the additional improvement options A and B are covered in the 1981 Sanitary
Sewer Construction and Service Agreement between Orono, Medina, and Long Lake. The City of Medina
should be contacted to discuss the cost sharing responsibilities identified in the agreement.

4.0 Water Main Improvements
The majority of the existing water main was also installed in approximately 1962, with the northern
portion (approximately 700 feet) replaced in 1997 when the Ice Arena was constructed. The water main
runs along the west side of Old Crystal Bay Road from Old Highway 12 to approximately 280 feet south
of 6th Avenue. The older portion of the water main is 8 inches in diameter and is cast iron pipe. Given
the age of this pipe, we recommend it be replaced as part of this project. The newer (northern) portion
of the water main is 12 inches in diameter and is constructed of ductile iron pipe. We do not recommend
this portion be replaced as part of this project.
The proposed water main improvements are shown in Figure 3. These improvements include replacing
the existing 8-inch cast iron water main with 8-inch PVC water main. In addition, all hydrants and gate
valves along the older segments will be replaced, and water services will be replaced between the main
and the right-of-way line.
Water service will be maintained throughout the project by using temporary above-ground water mains.
Individual users will be notified and may experience short disruptions in service as they are switched from
the existing system to the temporary system and back to the permanent system.
Cost estimates for the proposed water main improvements are presented in the Appendix.

CITY OF ORONO – OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD RECONSTRUCTION
5.0 Storm Sewer Improvements
The existing street consists mainly of a rural section served by drainage ditches, culverts, and a minimal
amount of storm sewer. The existing stormwater system generally outlets runoff at three points: to the
wetland north of CSAH 6, to the wetland just north of City Hall, and to the east to a ditch and existing
storm sewer along the north side of CSAH 112. The latter two outlet points ultimately outlet to the
Stone Bay regional pond between Kelley Parkway and CSAH 112.
Under the proposed improvements, most of the roadway will be reconstructed with an urban street
section with curb and gutter and storm sewer. The northerly 600’ is proposed to remain a rural section
with ditches to convey stormwater. The outlet points and drainage areas will generally remain the same.
The proposed storm sewer improvements are shown in Figure 4.
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) requires stormwater treatment to be incorporated into
a project if there is a proposed net increase in hardcover. Given that the proposed improvements to Old
Crystal Bay Road consist of adding turn lanes and/or roundabouts, there will be a small increase in
hardcover (less than 1 acre). Therefore, we must include Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address
potential water resource impacts as a result of the proposed improvements. Proposed BMPs will limit the
amount of impervious surface, promote on-site filtration, control flow rates, and limit sediment and
pollutant discharge from the site. Proposed locations for BMPs are shown in Figure 4. Potential BMPs are
listed below.
RURAL SECTION
A series of ditches and culverts will convey runoff from the road north to the existing culvert under CSAH
6. BMPs such as filtration basins/rain gardens can be incorporated into the ditches to minimize runoff
rates and sediment discharge. The BMPs can be constructed adjacent to the roadway within the existing
right-of-way.
URBAN SECTION
There is a high point in the road approximately 1400’ south of CSAH 6. Runoff to the north of the high
point up to the northernmost Orono Middle School/High School driveway (approximately 600’ of roadway)
will be routed through proposed storm sewer into the existing storm sewer in the Orono Middle School
parking lot. It will then be routed to the existing pond just north of the Middle School parking lot. The
size of the pond may need to be expanded to accommodate this additional runoff.
Runoff to the south of the high point will be collected in storm sewer and routed south to CSAH 112 and
then east to an existing 24” – 30” storm sewer pipe that runs parallel to CSAH 112. The 24” portion of
this pipe is not large enough to convey the additional runoff, so it will be upsized to 30” pipe. This pipe
then outlets into the Stone Bay regional pond between Kelley Parkway and CSAH 112. The pond has
been sized to treat this runoff from Old Crystal Bay Road. We have identified the area in the northeast

quadrant of Old Crystal Bay Road and Kelley Parkway as a potential area for installing BMPs, such as a
filtration basin or rain garden.
In some areas along Old Crystal Bay Road, the road elevation is higher than adjacent parking lots and
green areas. Therefore, it is likely that several ditches and culverts will be required behind the back of
the proposed curb to collect the runoff from these low areas. The culvert that outlets to the east to the
City Hall wetland will be replaced. In addition, rain gardens and other linear BMPs are proposed adjacent
to and within these ditches to provide treatment to the runoff prior to it entering the wetlands.
Cost estimates for the proposed storm sewer improvements are presented in the Appendix.

CITY OF ORONO – OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD RECONSTRUCTION
6.0 Street Improvements
Old Crystal Bay Road was reconstructed in 1962 in conjunction with the utility installation. The current
roadway consists of a rural section with two drive lanes and shoulders constructed of gravel or
bituminous. Based on the record plans, the existing street section consists of approximately 4 inches of
bituminous over a 4-inch gravel base and an 8-inch sand-gravel subbase. Since it was reconstructed, no
major rehabilitation projects have been conducted on the road between Old Highway 12 and CSAH 6.
Maintenance and rehabilitation has consisted of seal coating and spot repairs/patching. This has resulted
in uneven wear and settling throughout the length of the road.
In addition to the poor physical condition of the road, several other issues including traffic congestion and
pedestrian safety were identified in a Traffic and Safety Study that was prepared in August, 2010 for the
City of Orono. The Study identified several proposed roadway configurations that would eliminate or
lessen the severity of these issues. Two of the configurations were chosen as the preferred options and
have been analyzed as part of this report: Option 1 is the basic option consisting of adding turn lanes at
several driveways and intersections, and Option 2 includes two roundabouts in addition to several turn
lanes. See Figure 7 for the proposed typical street sections. Cost estimates for each of the options are
presented in the Appendix.
Under both of these options, it is likely that several utility poles will need to be relocated to accommodate
the new roadway. We will work with the owners of these poles during the relocation process. We don’t
anticipate any additional costs associated with relocating the poles.
OPTION 1: TURN LANES
Option 1 consists of constructing turn lanes at the critical intersections to provide additional vehicle
storage for pick-up/drop-off, and to minimize back-ups behind left-turning vehicles. In addition, three
driveway entrances would either be closed or restricted to right-out to limit right-angle conflicts. There
are no medians in this option. See Figure 5 for the proposed layout of Option 1.
OPTION 2: ROUNDABOUTS
Option 2 consists of constructing two roundabouts: one just north of Kelley Parkway at the City
Hall/Elementary School driveway, and the other at the south driveway to the Middle and High School
parking lots. The proposed roundabouts have a smaller diameter radius than a standard roundabout in
order to limit the right-of-way acquisition that will be necessary for construction. In addition to the
roundabouts, several turn lanes will be provided. There are also proposed 4-foot wide raised concrete
medians along the section of the road between the two roundabouts (approximately 1200 feet). The
median would function as a barrier to unwanted pedestrian roadway crossings, and potentially reduce
vehicle speeds. It is anticipated that approximately 17,200 square feet of right-of-way would need to be
acquired from the City and the School District for the construction of the roundabouts. See Figure 6 for
the proposed layout of Option 2, as well as the approximate location of the additional right-of-way.
For additional traffic information and strategies, see the August, 2010 Traffic and Safety Study.

6.1 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS
Listed below are several additional roadway improvement options that may be included as part of this
project. The City should determine which of the items, if any, it would like to be included in the project.
A cost summary of each of these items is included in Section 7.0 (Cost Analysis). Cost estimates for each
of these additional improvements options are provided in the Appendix.
A. ADDITIONAL ROUNDABOUT
We have included a cost estimate to add an additional (third) roundabout at the north driveway
entrances to the Middle School and High School. This intersection provides full access for the Middle
School and High School bus circulation routes as well as access to two parking lots. A signed and marked
crosswalk is also located here. This optional roundabout would improve circulation and safety through
the intersection. See Figure 6 for the location of this additional roundabout.
B. CITY HALL PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS
The City Hall parking lot is currently in poor condition, mainly due to poor drainage. Optional
improvements to the parking lot include reconstructing the northerly half of the parking lot. See Figure 6
for the location of these improvements.
C. WEST SIDEWALK
Currently Orono High School students utilitize several parking lots on the west side of Old Crystal Bay
Road. However, there is no sidewalk connecting these lots to the High School, creating an unsafe
pedestrian environment. Constructing a sidewalk on the west side of the new roadway would provide
more favorable conditions for both pedestrians and bikers, and encourage walking and biking to school.
This sidewalk would be eight feet wide and constructed of either bituminous or concrete. If this option is
chosen, the City should decide if it should be constructed of bituminous or concrete. This optional
sidewalk would be located primarily on School District property adjacent to the existing right-of-way.
The proposed location of this sidewalk is shown in Figures 5 and 6.
D. ENHANCED PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS
The base cost estimate includes implementing zebra-striped crosswalks and standard pedestrian crossing
signage at each intersection. However, there are several other features that can be implemented at
crosswalks to increase pedestrian safety by attracting more attention to the pedestrian crossings. This
report includes three optional improvements that may be used in conjunction with the basic zebra
crosswalk and signage. More than one option may be chosen.
Option A: In-Street Pedestrian Signs
These signs can be placed in the roadway
at crosswalks to provide extra emphasis to
the crosswalk.

Old Crystal Bay Road Reconstruction Feasability Study [Page 18 of 42]
City of Orono Project No: 000139-10047-0
Old Crystal Bay Road Reconstruction Page 16
Option B: Imprinted Pavement
Demarcating crosswalks with stamped concrete or brick
pavers creates a different look and attracts attention to
the crosswalk. There is a large amount of flexibility in
the patterns and designs.
Option C: LED Signing
Pedestrian signs with internally illuminated LED lights
are placed at a crosswalk and provide additional warning
to motorists of a pedestrian crossing the roadway.
The blinking lights can be activated by a push-button or
by passive detection.
E.12’ WIDE MEDIANS
This option allows for a twelve foot wide median to be constructed between the two roundabouts, a
distance of approximately 1,200 feet. A twelve foot median would create more of a deterrent to mid-
block crossings than a four foot wide median. It would also provide space for landscaping items such as
plantings and architectural elements to both enhance the aesthetic appeal of the project and act as an
additional deterrent to pedestrians. If this option is chosen, one of the landscaping options in the
following section should be chosen as well.

City of Orono Project No: 000139-10047-0
Old Crystal Bay Road Reconstruction Page 17
F. ENHANCED LANDSCAPING
The base street cost estimates include basic restoration with seed and sod. The following additional
streetscape options would allow for landscaping items such as trees, plantings and architectural elements
to both enhance the aesthetic appeal of the project and deter pedestrians from crossing the median. The
following pages depict and describe three general streetscape options for median and roundabout
landscaping. It the project moves forward, they should be used as a general guide when choosing the
final landscaping scheme and the associated cost for the landscaping once design has begun.

7.0 Cost Analysis
Detailed cost estimates for the proposed improvements are presented in the Appendix. The cost
estimates consist of a base cost, which includes the necessary sanitary, water main, storm sewer, and
basic street improvements, and separate cost estimates for the optional improvements. These costs
include a 5 percent contingency allowance, a 20 percent allowance for design, inspection, legal and
administration costs, and a 5 percent allowance for capitalized interest and bonding costs during
construction. The estimated costs shown in this report are based on 2010 unit prices and can be related
to the ENR Construction Cost Index for October, 2010 of 8920.45.
A summary of the estimated costs is presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3 below. Table 1 breaks down the
base cost for Option 1. It includes all necessary costs for reconstructing the street with curb and gutter
and turn lanes, as well as replacing all the necessary sanitary sewer and water main within the project
area, and installing the required storm sewer and stormwater BMPs to meet local requirements.
Table 2 breaks down the base cost for Option 2. It includes all necessary costs for reconstructing the
street with curb and gutter and two roundabouts in addition to the necessary utility improvements. The
City should choose either Option 1 (Table 1)or Option 2 (Table 2) to be constructed as part of this
project.
Table 3 includes a list of all additional improvements that may be done as part of this project. The City
should choose none of the items, all of the items, or any combination of the items, with the exception of
the Additional Roundabout Option. This option should only be chosen if Base Option 2 (Roundabouts) is
chosen.

CITY OF ORONO – OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD RECONSTRUCTION
8.0 Funding Options
8.1 STATE AID FUNDS
Old Crystal Bay Road is designated as a Municipal State Aid road. Therefore, State Aid funds may be
used to fund most of the work related to the roadway reconstruction and storm sewer installation.
8.2 CITY UTILITY FUNDS
The majority of the sanitary sewer and water main improvements, as well as the portion of the storm
sewer improvements not covered by State Aid will be funded by the City’s respective enterprise funds for
each utility.
8.3 CITY OF MEDINA
A portion of the proposed sanitary sewer improvements would be funded by the City of Medina under the
Sanitary Sewer Construction and Service Agreement between Orono, Medina, and Long Lake dated
August 10, 1981. Under this agreement, Medina is responsible for a percentage of the costs associated
with the Medina forcemain replacement, as well as all the gravity sewer replacement proposed in this
report. The costs should be allocated between Orono and Medina as described in the Agreement.
8.4 GRANTS
There may be an opportunity to obtain one or more grants for this project. One such grant is Safe
Routes to School. This program provides funds to schools and municipalities to identify, build, and
preserve safer routes so children can walk and bike to school. If this project moves forward, we will
explore additional grant options available.
